I am a big fan of these Mr. Beams MB3000 lights. They run on 4 D-cell batteries and are controlled by a photocell and motion sensor. They are durable and put out a good amount of for a footpath or shed. In my use case the batteries last about a year. I have had 6 of these mounted outside in the elements since before covid and they still work.

They aren't too spooky around here. I was hunting on Kodiak a few years ago, in the area where you can take three deer. I shot a decent 6 pointer and was in the process of skinning it with the help of my brother in law. We had our camo off and were talking and joking around and a young fork buck came trotting out of the brush right towards us to see what was going on. He waited broadside 25 yds away while I retrieved my rifle and bagged him.
The natives say that animals judge your character and give themselves to you, if they find you worthy. It seemed kind of like that.

John Wayne Howe is running for Alaska's seat in the US House of Representitives. He's not going to win, but his candidate statement declares the current government invalid. The state board of elections had to publish and deliver it to every mailbox in the state. That warms my heart. It was a black belt level statist jujitsu move.

GM. I harvested 4 wheelbarrow loads of comfrey yesterday. Half went in the compost pile, like normal. As an experiment, I chopped the rest up with a machete and spread it on an area of the garden that has been harvested. I mixed it with my tilther and seeded the area with winter rye. The soil will be thawed for another month or so. We'll see how well it breaks down before planting again next June.

I use the Yolink LoRa system with a temperature sensor and speaker hub. It gives an audible alert and sends out email and SMS if the temperature gets above my setpoint, assuming internet is working. Sensor batteries last about 5 months. It's not the ideal solution because you're relying on 3rd party services, but it has worked reliability for me for the past year. Also, once you have the speaker hub, you can add additional functions. I use it for a driveway alarm, gunsafe door monitor, greenhouse temperature monitoring and to remotely control my truck's block heater.
